'Auguste Gervaise' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

What I have called Leontine Gervais for over 20 years I am now changing to Auguste Gervais after seeing the same rose with similar provenance in Patricia Routley's garden

Judy, just because you saw it in my garden doesn’t automatically make it correctly identified. (We are all fallible and often get things wrong in our search for truth). You have to do your own research and be happy in your mind that it is correctly identified. I hope you looked at those references.
It was wonderful to talk roses with a rosarian and I enjoyed your visit very much indeed. People who are truly interested in old roses are always welcome here.

I have had a search of the literature and the references are confirming that size of the bloom is a way to distinguish these two roses. - Patricia

Auguste Gervais
